After calculating the value of n, you use the Master Select command to
send the value to the printer. To send the Master Select command for
double-wide, 12 cpi, and double-strike, you would use the decimal codes
27, 33, and 49.
ASCII:
ESC ! 1
Decimal:
27 33 49
Hexadecimal: 1B 21 31
Consider these things when you use the Master Select command:
l
Master Select cancels any of the listed features that you do not set.
For example, if you have already set 12 cpi, and you try to use
Master Select to set emphasized double-strike only, the character
width is reset to
10
cpi.
l
Proportional overrides 10 cpi, 12 cpi, and condensed.
l
Double-strike cannot be combined with NLQ mode.
Print quality and font are not part of Master Select and must be set
separately, using either SelecType or the ESC x and ESC k commands.
The method you use to send the Master Select codes to the printer is
determined by your application software. For more information on
sending commands to your printer, see the Computer-Printer
Communications section in Chapter 4 and the Command Summary
in Chapter 8.
